On Friday Psaki took it to another level and said Americans who post “misinformation” should be completely un-personed and should have no access to online platforms.

Just how do they think people spread information before Facebook, Twitter etc.,?
Have they heard of the Russian revolution from 1917? The revolution that brought down the Czar and brought in communism?
Just how did they manage all that without Facebook?

Back around 2000 there was a military exercise called the Millenium Challenge I think. It was a wargame, really so not live firing. The premise was a war in the middle east (go figure) and US plan (blue forces) was to utterly disrupt all enemy comms, sink the enemy fleet, and dominate the air for a quick win.

Playing the enemy leader (red forces) was a retired Marine General. He decided to play by different rules. He used motorcycle couriers to move messages rapidly between his men and they could not be jammed or intercepted. He also broadcast instructions from minaret towers. He had his team fly commercial aircraft on kamikaze raids on the carriers while launching swarms of small civilian craft armed with men with RPGs. He sank the entire blue force fleet in the first day. It was so embarassing that they restarted the war and red force was told it could not use such tactics again. Blue then dominated, of course.

Takeaway: low tech is still available and still works.

The same way they are doing it here. They controlled the presses in St Petersburg and Moscow, they controlled the RR unions which meant, since telegraph lines paralleled the rail lines and the telegraph offices were located in or next RR stations. Control of the information released. In St Petersburg they had a parallel government in the St Petersburg Soviet and had agents corrupting the soldiers in the army based there. In the USSSA the deep state Soviet is corrupting the Pentagon which then goes after the patriots in the lower ranks.
